A while ago, awesome DocumentSnap reader Sherri-Lee Mathers from Balsam Way Bookkeeping turned me on to a program that she relies on for her paperless practice: Nitro Pro.Read More »
It's a pleasant surprise when I meet Sam Chandler clutching a glass of the amber nectar that's shortly to be replaced by another... and one for the thirsty interviewer. Chandler has earned his drop. He says he's midway through conducting 42 interviews for his document editing and sharing company, Nitro.Read More »
Sure, you can edit that PDF—for $299, if you pay Adobe for Acrobat's Standard edition. I don't think so. And the Pro edition costs $449. Arguably the second-biggest name in PDF editing, Nitro is a venerable and mature editor with plenty to recommend. However, at $140, it's on the pricey side considering the many sub-$100 products in this field.Read More »
Document sharing solution provider Nitro wants to give Adobe, the biggest player in PDF software, some stiff competition. So says Sam Chandler, CEO of the San Francisco headquartered firm that he started in Australia back in 2005 and which now has more than 500,000 business customers and eight million monthly users.Read More »
The key to Nitro's rapid growth is a determination to give businesses a tool to use PDF documents as a platform for enterprise-wide teamwork, Chandler told me: "Our view was the majority of people around the world were just viewing documents rather than collaborating with them."Read More »
Technology firm Nitro, which set up in Ireland last year, expects to at least double the number of jobs it initially hoped to create at its Dublin office. The company, which offers document productivity products to rival Adobe and DocuSign, said it planned to create more than 100 jobs at its European, Middle East and Africa headquarters in Ireland, with the potential to expand that up to 150 positions.Read More »
Nitro has been leading the "Acrobat alternative" crowd for a long time now, with regular feature upgrades and offerings that keep setting it apart. With many great features available through its free product options, it's perfect for casual PDF makers while delivering the more advanced goods that make power users happy to pay to upgrade.Read More »

Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke has failed to win over critics with his latest turn on the New York stage - his production of CLIVE has been branded "misguided" and "pretentious".
The Training Day star has returned in an Off-Broadway production of Clive, a modern update of Baal by Bertolt Brecht, which he also directs, playing a rock star on the path to self destruction
The Training Day star has returned in an Off-Broadway production of Clive, a modern update of Baal by Bertolt Brecht, which he also directs, playing a rock star on the path to self destruction.
However, Hawke's production has been hit with a slew of negative reviews from New York's notoriously tough theatre critics after it opened at Manhattan's Acorn Theatre on Thursday (07Feb13).
Elisabeth Vincentelli of the New York Post gave the play just half a star out of a possible five, and calls the production a "resounding misfire of a show" adding, "Let's pretend this misguided, pretentious flameout (sic) never happened... It's as phoney as a '60s TV show about hippies".
Joe Dziemianowicz of the New York Daily News branded the play "dismaying" while the New York Times' Ben Brantley adds, "I regret to say that (the) show has (not) been all that well served by its leading man or for that matter by its director, who in the case of Clive happens to be Mr Hawke... Clive (as Baal has been rechristened) comes across less as a satanic catalyst than just another rotten apple on a dying tree".
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter concludes, "This amorphous drama severely tries one's patience even as it wastes the talents of an estimable cast... Hawke, who also directed, delivers an intense, admirably committed performance that nonetheless fails to make much of an impact... The production proves to have little reason for being... It mainly comes across as an actors' exercise, one that is undoubtedly more fulfilling for its creatives than for the beleaguered audience".
Hawke was last seen on the New York stage last year (12) in a production of Anton Chekhov's Ivanov.

This combo of photos released by the FBI Friday April 19 shows what the FBI is calling suspects number 1, left, and suspect number 2, right, walking through the crowd in Boston on Monday, April 15, 2013, before the explosions at the Boston Marathon.
As authorities closed in on the Boston Marathon bombing suspects -- one of whom was killed during a violent shootout in Boston's Watertown suburb early Friday -- Twitter and other social media outlets lit up with outtakes from police scanner reports, including a moment when eavesdropping tweeters heard the name of a missing Brown University student come over the airwaves in conjunction with the Monday attacks.
"Police on scanner identify the names of #BostonMarathon suspects in gunfight, Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta. Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi," read the most retweeted of the tweets, from the hacker group Anonymous. The post was retweeted nearly 3200 times.
But on Friday morning, it was certain: Tripathi was not involved with the bombings at all. Neither was the other named referenced. Authorities had identified the suspects as brothers with the last name Tsarnaev. Dzhokar, 19, was still wanted; his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, was dead after a night of violence that included the shooting to death of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, robbing a 7-Eleven, car-jacking a Mercedes SUV and injuring a Boston transit police officer.
In the age of live streaming audio and fast tweets, amateur sleuths can spread police scanner chatter -- which is just that, chatter -- more quickly than ever. But the dissemination of information comes with a risk: endangering law enforcement or the public.
"The last thing we want to become are reporters for the fugitive," Clint Van Zandt, former FBI profiler and NBC criminal analyst, said. "That's what I think people who tweet and post have to be careful of in the extreme and worst-case scenario. Are they giving information that would give aid and comfort to a killer? If you ask yourself that question and the answer is no, then go ahead and post it."
Boston police mentioned Tripathi and the other less-known name on their scanner just before 1 a.m. Friday morning, about two hours after law enforcement officials first encountered the suspects they had been hunting since Monday's attack.
Missing student's family 'staggered' by false accusation
This undated photo released by Brown University shows Brown University student Sunil Tripathi, who was last seen in the Brown campus area on Saturday morning, March 16, 2013 in Providence, R.I. For a few hours, social media lit up with reports that Tripathi was mistakenly identified as one of the Boston Marathon suspects.
Prior to the bombings, Tripathi's disappearance was reported to be a possible suicide. It's unclear why his name and Mulugeta's came up on the police scanner, but some on Twitter posted side-by-side photos of Tripathi and one of the Boston marathon suspects who had been seen on surveillance wearing a white hat.
"Is there any doubt that Suspect #2 on the run is Sunil Tripathi?" wrote one, @HonestyInGov, comparing Tripathi's dark curly hair and thin frame to that of the suspect's.
Misinformation is not the only danger. As of Friday morning, nearly 83,000 were simultaneously streaming a live audio of Boston's police scanner from a single website, broadcastify.com. Listening to unfiltered feeds of Boston's police, fire, and emergency personnel comes with a responsibility for those people, says Van Zandt, the former FBI profiler.
Because the Boston suspects are believed to have been in the U.S. since 2002 or 2003, "they may well be subscribing to these blogs and tweets, and that gives them inside information," he said.
He added, though, that even broadcasting a live raid on television or cable can give away information to suspects, who could be watching their own search play out live.
"I've seen situations where the bad guys sit inside of a house or building, see which way the cops are coming, then start shooting from inside the door," he said. "Every time I talk on TV, I think the bad guy is listening. I think, what do I want him to hear? I keep trying to get a guy to surrender."

Frequently Asked Questions about Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
What is Section 106?
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) requires Federal agencies, including NEH, to consider the effects of Federally funded projects on historic properties and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) an opportunity to comment on such projects prior to the expenditure of any Federal funds.
What kinds of projects require Section 106 review, and how is an applicant who has been awarded or offered an NEH grant affected by Section 106?
Section 106 covers a broad range of projects, including construction, renovation, repair, or rehabilitation; ground disturbances; and changes to an area's visual characteristics. NEH bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that it meets all of its Section 106 requirements. However, NEH cannot meet its obligations without the full cooperation and assistance of NEH awardees or offers. Further, NEH cannot release grant funds until it completes its Section 106 obligations.
What is an historic property?
An historic property is any property that is included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). National Register-listed or -eligible properties fall into five broad categories:
- Buildings: constructions designed principally to shelter human activity, including houses, barns, commercial buildings, government buildings, etc.
- Structures: functional constructions not principally designed for human shelter, including bridges, canals, lighthouses, dams, boats, aircrafts, etc.
- Sites: Locations of significant events, or prehistoric or historic occupation or activity, including ceremonial sites, battlefields, shipwrecks, trails, designed landscapes, archaeological remains of habitation sites, natural features having cultural significance, etc.
- Objects: Constructions that are relatively small in scale, frequently artistic in nature, and associated with a specific setting or environment. They are not museum objects, but include sculptures, monuments, fountains, boundary markers, etc.
- Districts: A concentration or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects that are united by their history or aesthetics. The identity of a district results from the interrelationship of its resources. Frequently encountered districts include residential areas, commercial areas, transportation networks, large farms, rural villages, groupings of habitation sites or ceremonial sites.
Historic properties also include artifacts, records, and remains related to and located within such properties, and properties of traditional religious and cultural importance to an Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
What is the ACHP?
The ACHP is an independent Federal agency that promotes historic preservation, oversees the operation of the Section 106 process, and advises the President and Congress on historic preservation policy. Occasionally, the ACHP participates in the Section 106 review of an NEH project. For example, the ACHP may participate if NEH has made an adverse effect finding or if other parties involved in the Section 106 review of a project have requested ACHP guidance.
Who else participates when NEH reviews a project under Section 106 and what are their responsibilities?
NEH: Leads the Section 106 review process.
- NEH Federal Preservation Officer (FPO): Coordinates Section 106 reviews at NEH, and responds to general inquiries about Section 106 from applicants, award recipients, and the public.
- NEH Program Office/Division: Serves as the office primarily responsible for ensuring that NEH meets its Section 106 responsibilities.
- NEH General Counsel's office: Assists the FPO and Program Offices/ Divisions with fulfilling NEH's legal obligations under Section 106.
Consulting Parties
- Awardee/Offeree: Assists NEH with its Section 106 review by providing the agency with the materials necessary for its review, including SHPO/THPO decision letters, background research on historic properties, project plans and specifications, field investigations and/or surveys, etc. Also, as necessary, prepares studies and analyses, and coordinates public involvement in the Section 106 review of its project.
- SHPO/THPO: The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) advises and assists NEH with carrying out its Section 106 obligations, including identifying historic properties, assessing and resolving adverse effects, and reviewing project design plans.
- Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations: If participating, works with NEH to identify historic properties, assess adverse effects to historic properties, and resolve adverse effects.
- Representatives of local governments and other consulting parties: If participating, comments on the identification of historic properties, effects to historic properties, and ways to mitigate or avoid adverse effects.
- Public: Comments on the identification of historic properties, effects to historic properties, and ways to mitigate or avoid adverse effects.
Why is the public involved in the Section 106 review process?
The Section 106 regulations require Federal agencies to seek and consider the public's views at every stage of the review process. However, agencies have discretion in how they notify the public of their proposed actions and how they seek public comment. Because proposed projects vary in scope and size, NEH's plans for involving the public may be different for each Section 106 review. In most cases, NEH will ask awardees or offers to post public notices about their projects through appropriate media (e.g., newspapers, local post offices and libraries, applicant's website, etc.,). The comment period generally lasts thirty (30) days.
How does the Section 106 review process work?
First, NEH determines whether Section 106 covers the proposed project. If so, then NEH identifies the Area of Potential Effects (APE), which is the geographic area/s within which a project may directly or indirectly affect historic properties, and any historic properties in the APE. NEH also consults with the awardee or offeree, the SHPO/THPO, other consulting parties, and the public, as necessary, when making these identifications. If there are no historic properties, then NEH refrains from further Section 106 review of the project.
However, if there are historic properties, then NEH, in consultation with the consulting parties and the public, assesses whether the project will adversely affect historic properties. If the project will not adversely affect historic properties, then NEH refrains from further Section 106 review of the project. On the other hand, if there will be adverse effects to historic properties, then NEH, in consultation with the consulting parties and the public, explores ways to avoid or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties. If necessary, NEH may also reach out to the ACHP to participate in the agency's Section 106 review. Finally, if NEH and the SHPO/THPO agree on how to resolve adverse effects, then they will execute a memorandum of agreement.
For further details on the Section 106 review process, you may wish to consult the Section 106 regulations, 36 C.F.R. Part 800.
What is an adverse effect?
An adverse effect occurs when a project may directly or indirectly diminish the integrity of an historic property by altering any of the characteristics that qualify that property for National Register inclusion. Specifically, if the project diminishes the integrity of a property's location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, then there is an adverse effect. Examples of adverse effects include:
- Physical destruction or damage;
- Alteration inconsistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties;
- Relocation of the property;
- Change in the character of the property's use or setting;
- Introduction of incompatible visual, atmospheric, or audible elements;
- Neglect and deterioration;
- Transfer, lease, or sale out of federal control without adequate preservation restrictions
Do applicants have any Section 106 responsibilities prior to an award or offer of an NEH grant?
Yes. Although NEH does not formally initiate Section 106 review until it decides to fund a project, there are many steps that an applicant should take prior to submitting an application to ensure that Section 106 review of its project moves along smoothly and efficiently.
If your institution requests NEH funds to support ground disturbances, changes to an area's visual characteristics, or any construction, renovation, repair, or rehabilitation of a building, then you should take the following measures:
- Contact your SHPO and/or THPO (if the project will take place on tribal land) about the proposed project. Once you have initiated contact, provide the NEH FPO (@email) with the name and contact information of the person in the SHPO/THPO office who will be assisting NEH with its review.
- Request a written decision from the SHPO/THPO on the following:
- Whether there are any known National Register –listed or –eligible properties that are in or near the project site, and whether there are any other National Register-eligible properties.
- If there are historic properties, comments on the effects of the NEH-funded project on historic properties; and
- If effects are adverse, comments on ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects.
If applicable, submit an archaeological survey for the APE to NEH.
Note for Challenge Grant applicant: If the applicant does not include the survey with its application and later receives a challenge grant offer, NEH's Section 106 review of the offeree's project will be delayed until the offeree has submitted the survey.
- Submit a list containing the names of all consulting parties and their contact information, including titles, mailing addresses, and email addresses. Consulting parties include Federally-recognized tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, state and local governments, and individuals and organizations with a legal or economic relationship to a project or property (e.g. historic societies or commissions).
Are there any materials I should submit to the SHPO/THPO when I ask for the written decision on the eligibility of historic properties, effects to historic properties, and ways to avoid or mitigate adverse effects?
Yes. To facilitate this determination, you should provide the SHPO/THPO the following materials:
- A written description of the applicant's project. The description should include the proposed use(s) for the property and the scope of the proposed construction, renovation, repair, rehabilitation, or ground or visual disturbance;
- A map, photograph, or drawing clearly demarcating the project's Area of Potential Effects (APE). The APE is the geographic area(s) within which a project may directly or indirectly affect historic properties. To determine the APE, applicants should consider all locations where the project may result in ground, visible, or audible disturbances, or changes in public access, traffic patterns, or land use;
- Descriptions of all known National Register-listed or –eligible properties that are in the APE, and descriptions and evaluations of all other properties in the APE for National Register-eligibility (regardless of age) by considering the National Register criteria. (See 36 C.F.R. Part 60 and 36 C.F.R. Part 63). Descriptions should be based on materials such as background research on historic properties, oral history interviews, field surveys and/or investigations, and past planning, research, and studies, and should include information such as a property's location, the year of its construction (if a structure), and previous ownership;
- A description of the NEH-funded project's effects on historic properties. For a project to have an effect on an historic property, it must have the potential to alter the characteristics that qualify that property for inclusion in or eligibility for the National Register; and
- An explanation of why the 36 C.F.R. 800.5(a)(1) criteria for an adverse effect were found applicable or inapplicable, including any conditions or future actions to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects. Adverse effects to historic properties include physical destruction, alteration, or removal of a property.
Any materials that you provide to the SHPO/THPO must also be provided to NEH, preferably with your grant application or as soon as practicable thereafter.
What are my Section 106 responsibilities if I am awarded or offered an NEH grant?
NEH will ask you to provide all the materials necessary for it to initiate a formal review of your project. Specifically, NEH will ask you for the following:
- The SHPO/THPO's written determination if you haven't already provided it;
- Any materials that should have been submitted to the SHPO/THPO to assist him/her with the written determination (See Question 10 above);
- Descriptions of the steps taken to identify any historic properties;
- Information about any known National Historic Landmarks; and
- Any other information provided to and received from the SHPO/THPO.
How can I define the APE?
The APE is the geographic area(s) within which a project may directly or indirectly affect historic properties. The APE is defined before the identification of any historic properties. Therefore, to determine the APE, you do not need to know whether any historic properties exist in the area(s), but you should consider all locations where the project may result in ground disturbances; visible or audible disturbances; or changes in public access, traffic patterns, or land use.
Where can I find information on historic properties?
Information about historic properties is available from your SHPO or THPO, local historical societies, public libraries, or local government archives. The National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (NPS) also holds information on every property listed in the National Register. NPS may also have information on properties that have been determined eligible and that have been nominated for (but not yet listed in) the National Register. For the National Register regulations, see 36 C.F.R. Part 60.
What are the National Register criteria?
To be National Register-listed or -eligible, the property must be significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture, and possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Furthermore, the property must meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Be associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or
- Be associated with the lives of significant persons in or past; or
- Embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or
- Have yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or prehistory.
What is a National Historic Landmark?
National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States.
I have provided NEH with all the materials it has requested. What happens next?
Once NEH receives all requested materials, it will then review them, consult with the ACHP (if participating), the SHPO/THPO, other consulting parties, and the public to determine the APE, whether there are historic properties present, whether the project will affect those properties, and ways to mitigate or avoid any adverse effects.
NEH's Section 106 decisions usually fall under one of the following categories:
- No historic properties: If NEH finds there are either no historic properties or there are historic properties but the project will not affect them, then it will follow § 800.4 of the Section 106 regulations, which requires NEH to notify the SHPO/THPO of NEH's finding. If the SHPO/THPO does not object within thirty (30) days after receiving the letter, then NEH is generally permitted to release grant funds.
- Project's effects indeterminable: If NEH cannot fully determine a project's effects on historic properties, then NEH will follow § 800.14, which requires NEH to continue consultations, draft a programmatic agreement (PA), and invite the ACHP to consult on the PA. If the SHPO/THPO and other parties to the PA agree to it and once the PA is filed with the ACHP, then NEH is generally permitted to release grant funds.
- No adverse effects to historic properties: If NEH finds that the project will not adversely affect historic properties, then it will follow § 800.5, which requires NEH to notify the SHPO/THPO and consulting parties of NEH's findings. If the SHPO/THPO or any of the consulting parties do not object, then NEH is generally permitted to release grant funds.
- Adverse effects to historic properties: If NEH finds that a project will adversely affect historic properties, then NEH will follow § 800.6, which requires NEH to continue consultations, seek ways to mitigate or resolve adverse effects, and execute a memorandum of agreement (MOA). If the SHPO/THPO and other parties to the MOA agree to it and the MOA is filed with the ACHP, then NEH is generally permitted to release grant funds.
How long will it take for NEH to finish its Section 106 review of my project?
The Section 106 review process may take between several months to a year for NEH to complete, depending on the complexity of the project and the cooperation of the awardee or offeree. Therefore, the sooner you are able to provide NEH with the necessary information, the sooner NEH can complete its review. Please be aware that awardees and offers cannot begin any work involving construction, renovation, repair, rehabilitation, or ground or visual disturbances activities until NEH completes its Section 106 review.
What happens if construction is already underway on my project at the time I submit a grant application?
Under Section 110(k) of the NHPA, Federal agencies are prohibited from providing grants, licenses, or other assistance to applicants who intentionally significantly and adversely affect historic properties. This provision, known as the "anticipatory demolition" section, is designed to prevent applicants from destroying historic properties prior to seeking Federal assistance in an effort to avoid the Section 106 review process. NEH encourages all applicants to submit their grant applications early in the project's planning process to avoid any complications from this provision. However, if the project is already underway and you have questions about how Section 110(k) may affect your organization's eligibility for NEH grant funds, please contact the NEH FPO.
Where can I find more information about the Section 106 review process?
Additional information about Section 106 is available on the ACHP's website at www.achp.gov. You may also contact the NEH FPO by email: @email, by phone: (202) 606-8309, or by mail: Federal Preservation Officer, National Endowment for the Humanities, 400 7th Street SW, Washington DC 20506.

The Young Gods The Young Gods have been pushing the limits of sound for more than thirty years. They began as pioneers of industrial punk who flirted with surreal cabaret, and as sonic wizards they moved on to shamanize electro/techno music, all the while forging their own unique sound. In the process they became legends of the European scene. During the winter of 1984–85, Franz Treichler and Cesare Pizzi redefined the grammar of rock using rudimentary machines. They were inhabited by an uncompromising, raw and poetic vision. Joined by drummer Frank Bagnoud, they fine-tuned the formula of the Young Gods. Their first concerts were like electroshocks. They featured voice, drums and sampler… and walls of guitar sounds, but without guitars: their music was unheard of. When the first eponymous album appeared in 1987, the British press heralded the phenomenon: "The Young Gods are the New Thing, they are what happens next…" In the early 1990s, with Al Comet replacing Cesare Pizzi on samplers, the trio surfed the wave of alternative rock. The album "T.V. Sky", with its single "Skinflowers" rotating on MTV, opened the doors of the United States. David Bowie, U2 and Nine Inch Nails began citing them as inspirations. Things accelerated at a frantic pace. So much so that it all became too much. In the early 2000s, the trio regrouped in Geneva, redefined its priorities, and moved closer to the effervescent electro / techno scene. Bernard Trontin replaced Üse Hiestand on drums.

Thread: The 2013 MLB season awaits...
#1 The 2013 MLB season awaits...02-19-2013, 12:27 AM
From Breitbart...
While we continue to review the 30 Major League Baseball teams one at a time, here is a snap shot of which appear to be the Top 10 teams as they prepare for opening day.
10. Baltimore. Can the Fighting Showalters repeat their magic from 2012? The numbers say no, but baseball teams are often more than the sum of their parts.
9. New York Yankees. How do you spell Yanks? O-L-D.
8. St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards are certainly more than the sum of their parts, but injuries and age are catching up with them as well.
7. Texas Rangers. Addition by subtraction rarely works as well as addition by addition.
6. Philadelphia Phillies. If healthy, they are talented.
5. LA Angels of Anaheim. Lots of shiny new expensive, injury-prone parts. Cant buy chemistry but talent is undeniable.
4. Atlanta Braves. All the Uptons in the world wont beat the Nats rotation.
3. Detroit Tigers. Class of the AL and in their prime. They owe the Florida Marlins a bouquet of flowers for trading them all their elite talent.
2. Cincinnati Reds. Converting Chapman to a starter will cost them the NL title.
1. Washington Nationals. First in war, First in peace, First in starting pitching and soon to be First in MLB.
Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.
Uh, I'd throw the Rays in there too! Pitching, pitching, bull pen and a healthy Longoria could be enuf!
:Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
I wondered why the rock was getting larger. Then it hit me.
Hmmm, no Giants in the top ten? They only brought the whole team back from last year...you know, the year when they won the World Series? For the second time in three years?
Solve a man's problem with violence and help him for a day. Teach a man how to solve his problems with violence, help him for a lifetime - Belkar Bitterleaf
Liberalism is what the stupid think is smart.
Ed Smith Stadium.
There are tons of visitors descending on Florida for the spring training games. The paper said there are many more coming this year than in previous years. Wish the Cards were headquartered on the west coast of Florida, but too long of a drive to Jupiter on the other coast.
I'm debating on trying for tickets to the Red Sox/Cards game in Ft Myers on March 4th. Their ticket prices are higher. There was a crack in the local paper on how unfriendly the Red Sox are during spring training games. The other teams are more accessible to fans.
" To the world you are just one more person, but to a rescued pet, you are the world."
"A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!"
I can't argue the Nationals being the best team on paper. They have a good, young, core and they strengthened an already formidable pitching staff by adding Dan Haren. As long as they don't do anything stupid like sit Strasberg like they did last year, they're going to be tough to beat. The Braves I'm not sold on. Pitching is still iffy(strange considering for a decade or more pitching was their strength. The Angels could be a scary team if healthy. I'd hate to be a pitcher and have to face Trumbo, Trout, Hamilton, and Pujols. As for the Yankees, it's the love affair the media has for them is the reasoning why they are still considered a top 10 team. As for my Phillies, they did nothing to improve the team and are relying on an aging, injury prone lineup. Yes their motto for this season is "one more run", until they change their offensive philosophy, the team is setting itself up for failure. The reason why they won a championship in 2008 is because they bashed the hell out of the ball. They still think this is a good offensive thought process. Bloop and a blast. Not gonna happen.Leftism is a bottomless pit of absurdity.

Birck Nanotechnology Center Annual Research Review: 2008
Published on
The Second Annual Birck Nanotechnology Center Research Symposium was held on April 14, 2008 in Purdue's Discovery Park. Along with poster presentations by graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, several areas of strength were highlighted in the overview presentations made available here. The first presentation by BNC director, Sands, highlights the recent achievements of the nanotechnology community with a focus on publications as a metric for assessing the impact of the investment in nano at Purdue [1,2]. Presentations by Professors Bergstrom, Klimeck, Janes, Murthy, and Narimanov highlight major centers (the NSF Network for Computational Nanotechnology and the DOE/NNSA Center for Predictive Reliability, Integrity and Survivability of Microsystems) and research achievements of the past year in nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and nanobiotechnology.

COMMENTARY: What the Dunn verdict says about us
Marc Morial | 2/28/2014, 5:59 a.m.
"Jordan had no guns. He had no drugs. There was no alcohol. They were coming from the mall. They were being kids." —Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis
Another mother's anguish! Another unarmed black teenager in Florida shot dead for no good reason— another indefensible instance of "Stand Your Ground" rearing its ugly head. Eight months after the stunning acquittal of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, justice again has been compromised in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
On November 23, 2012, Michael Dunn, a 47-year-old white man, fired 10 rounds into a SUV after arguing over loud rap music coming from the vehicle with Jordan and three other unarmed African American teenagers.
Three of the bullets struck and killed Jordan Davis. Like George Zimmerman, Michael Dunn claimed self-defense and used Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law to bolster his justification of the killing, as his lawyer stated in his closing argument, "His honor will further tell you that if Michael Dunn was in a public place where he had a legal right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force."
Dunn claims Jordan Davis brandished a gun so Dunn shot first. But there is one big problem with his story. Jordan Davis had no gun and neither did anyone else in the SUV.
Two weeks ago, a jury found Dunn guilty of three counts of attempted murder, one for each of Jordan's three friends, and shooting into a vehicle. But they deadlocked on the fifth count— first-degree murder in the killing of Jordan. Dunn could get at least 60 years and may spend the rest of his life in prison for the four lesser counts.
However the failure to convict him of murdering Jordan Davis raises critical questions about the devaluing of the lives of young black males in America and confirms the need for a repeal of Florida's repugnant Stand Your Ground law that sanctions the use of deadly force by anyone who merely thinks— or claims— they are in danger from a perceived assailant.
Regardless of whether Dunn or Zimmerman chose to fully exercise Stand Your Ground provisions in their defense, this law was very clearly at the center of both cases. It is even clearer that the "shoot first" laws across the country are contributing to needless bloodshed and are ripe for unequal application based on race.
A recent Urban Institute analysis found that in Stand Your Ground states, "When the shooter is white and the victim is black, the justifiable homicide rate is 34 percent. When the situation is reversed and the shooter is black and the victim is white, shootings are ruled to be justifiable in only slightly more than three percent of cases."
Last September, the National Urban League, in collaboration with the bipartisan Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition and VoteVets, issued a report showing that in the 22 states with "Stand Your Ground" laws, the justifiable homicide rate has risen by an average of 53 percent in the five years following their passage. In Florida, justifiable homicides have increased by 200 percent since the law took effect in 2005.

East Africa to Get a New Port
4 March 2012
If you ever had it in mind to see the pristine northern coast of Kenya, and especially Lamu island with its UNESCO world heritage site old town and the Lamu archipelago, you had better get there soon. Africa is changing. Industrialization and development is coming to East Africa on a scale heretofore unprecedented. Now the project has officially gotten underway (Lamu port project launched for South Sudan and Ethiopia) and it is likely that the way of life in the region will be changed forever.
It would be difficult to name all the ways in which the planned port and its associated infrastructure will impact East African economic development. You can see on a map of Kenya's road network that Lamu has been off the beaten track. The main A109 road of Mombasa to Nairobi follows pretty much the same path as existing rail infrastructure. The Lamu Port and Lamu Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET) will involve road, rail, and oil pipeline connections to Lamu (as well as a port at Manda Bay, an oil refinery at Bargoni, three airports, and three resort cities). The map above shows some existing infrastructure as well as regions of Kenya slated for petroleum exploration. You can read a fairly detailed sketch of the petroleum geology of the region at the Africa Oil Corporation website. The company appears to be based in Vancouver B.C. In the map below you can see the proposed development, with the road, rail, and pipeline network passing through the area to be explored and connecting South Sudan and Ethiopia to Africa's newest Port.
While many of the businesses in Lamu no doubt welcome the development, many in Lamu are concerned for their future, and rightly so. (Cf. Audio slideshow: Kenya dhow captain fears new port, Kenyan town awaits port with trepidation, and Save Lamu) It is likely that nothing will ever be the same again. Even if the governments involved in the project are good their word in attempting to retain the character of Lamu's tourist area and in protecting the environment, economic development on this scale cannot fail to alter the way of life in the region. Construction crews will arrive, and they will need places to eat and sleep. They will also take time off, and they will have money to spend. All the familiar camp followers and profiteers will seek to relieve these construction workers of their paychecks, and in so doing they will make their own contribution to the economy of the area.
After the facilities are built and operational, different economic forces will come into play. There will be regular jobs with regular salaries, and their will be foreign experts and consultants who come. The burgeoning economies of India and China, and indeed many growing economies around the Indian Ocean, will have a growing appetite for oil, and as oil both increases in cost and begins to flow from South Sudan through Kenya and from Lamu's port into ships that will sail the world's oceans, the sheer volume of money involved in such transactions will influence life in the region as well. With money come bankers and financial services industries. With trade connections through the region come international relations and the need to be involved in the affairs of other nation-states.
LAPSSET is being billed as the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken in Africa. It is not likely to be the last. Africa's infrastructure has lagged substantially behind that of the industrialized world. This has retarded economic development. As Saudi oil money in the later twentieth century was re-lent out for infrastructure projects through the developing world, now in the twentieth century China's capital generated from its rapid industrialization needs to find investment opportunities. Many of these are likely to be in Africa. There has been a steady stream of stories in the financial press of Chinese money and Chinese expertise employed in large development projects in Africa. I wrote about this in Unintended Consequences in Africa, and more recently the Chinese financed and Chinese built African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa was inaugurated by Chinese President Hu Jintao.
It is easy to read sinister implications into China's involvement in Africa, as it was easy to read sinister implications in the disposition of Saudi oil money during the 1970s (think of what the term "petrodollars" means to most people). Money, like industrial development, takes on a life of its own. Both can be controlled (to a limited extent) and regulated (with more or less success), but neither can be wished away. Africa and China are today becoming locked into a "special relationship" because of historical contingencies that cannot be changed and must find some form of expression. It is in the interest of those nation-states that are already industrialized to contribute constructively to the development of Asia and Africa, rather than to respond with fear and apprehension.

Note added 17 March 2012: There is an interesting article in the East African Standard, Lamu port deal leaves Khartoum feeling put out, describing Khartoum's growing sense of isolation as a result of being denied membership in the East Africa Community (EAC) and the initiation of the Lamu port project, which includes a pipeline from Juba (in South Sudan) to Lamu. The Sudanese are even pursuing a case of "economic sabotage" at the African Union. Apparently, Sudanese officials haven't read Hume's argument about jealously of trade, or they would know that have a thriving East African Community on their border could only be good for the Sudanese economy.

Carving jack-o'-lanterns likely will cost more this fall, thanks to a ghoulish brew of meteorological and economic factors that's putting a bit of a scare into some of the most experienced observers of the Halloween season.
"Pumpkin prices are definitely going to be up this year," said Angela Britt, of Britt Farms in Manhattan, which supplies Hy-Vee in Lawrence. "It's a combination of the rain and the lack of the heat and the fuel prices just skyrocketing. We went up 10 to 15 percent, overall, with our prices for this year."
And the growing season isn't over yet, with each successive rain dampening hopes for recovery of the colorful crop: from ornamental mini-pumpkins to the appropriately named Big Max, which can bloat to 100 pounds or more.
Yellow leaves, insect damage and rot already have taken their toll, and it's still more than six weeks until Halloween.
"I don't think it'll get too much worse. We'll just have to see how the disease sets in, and how it progresses," said Britt, whose 80-acre field typically produces about 2.4 million pounds of pumpkins. "We'll still be able to be shipping pretty good quality because we grow so many. But we'll just have to leave that many more (bad ones) in the field."
Jennifer Smith, horticulture agent for K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County, said such reports were logical, given growing conditions this year.
"With the cooler weather this summer, all the vine crops are having problems," she said. "Watermelons and cantaloupe have been having problems, not growing well. They like heat and humidity, and they like the roots to dry out. And we've had so much rain, that hasn't happened very much. :
"Most of the plants hadn't put down good root systems. I can see a definite possibility of having a smaller pumpkin crop this year."
But pockets of hope are managing to grow out of the moist soil.
Pam Hamill, owner of Hamill's Country Garden Greenhouse south of Baldwin, started off the season in a state of sheer fear. A brush-burning accident, followed by a couple of other minor setbacks, kept Hamill and her helpers from getting their pumpkins planted by June 1, the usual deadline for a timely crop.
"I was just sick about it when it happened," she said. "I was in an absolute panic."
But by putting off planting until June 17, Hamill's one-acre pumpkin patch actually eluded some timing problems brought on by rainy weather and cool temperatures.
"It's ended up being great for us," Hamill said. "We have nice big ones, and they just look really good. They're ripening up faster than they normally do."
Hamill will be charging customers 35 cents a pound this season - the same price that will be offered at the pick-your-own Schaake Pumpkin Patch just east of Lawrence, where rising costs for fuel, chemicals and feed led to the increase of nearly 17 percent.
"We like to keep it reasonable enough that it's fun, family entertainment," said Janet Schaake, who conceded that this season's price increase likely wouldn't be enough to counter rising expenses. "I don't want it to get out of sight."
At least the pumpkins on the 25-acre patch - planted about a week later than normal - still look good, Schaake said. Now it's just a matter of waiting for rains to stop, to prevent pumpkins from rotting in the field.
"They may be floating right now," she said Friday.
Mike Garrett doesn't have as much to float. The longtime truck farmer - selling from the site, across from Lawrence Municipal Airport, that his great-grandfather set up in 1867 - figures his yields are only 25 percent of what they should be by now on his 16-acre field in Linwood.
The elements simply have conspired to keep production down, just as demand for such homegrown products continues to rise.
"The pie pumpkins and the squash and the itty-bitty gourds are doing great," Garrett said. "But the big pumpkins, I can't tell how they're doing. This has been the craziest summer."

Peter King gave a disturbing interview the other day. At the 13:36 mark, he discussed among other things, Marvin Harrison's chances at making the Hall of Fame. Now, I'm not as upset about him arguing that Harrison might not deserve to make the Hall as I am about his insane reasoning:
"What I ask myself all the time about Marvin Harrison…and again, it's not 5, 6, 7 years from now when we'll be considering Marvin Harrison, but this is just my knee-jerk reaction right now. What exactly is there…a signature catch, is there an incredible game, what is there about Marvin Harrison other than ridiculous incredible numbers…"
In a day when people are honestly discussing the Hall of Fame candidacy of Kurt Warner and his FOUR good years as a QB, I have to begin to question the sanity of voters everywhere. Apparently, the Hall of Fame has become about 'moments' more than about performance. Peter King is basically saying, "I don't care about 7 All Pro teams, records and huge numbers for more than a decade. I prefer one game or one catch I can remember."
I just gave you a few seconds to chew on those words. Have we really become so simplistic? As a football society, are we really willing to sacrifice the greatness of careers earned Sunday after Sunday and trade that for one catch or one game? I'm convinced that the worst thing that ever happened to football was the insane "post-season is everything" bandwagon that started with New England fans early this decade. Before this decade, the general assumption was that if a player won one Super Bowl he was validated (see Young, Steve). Now, principally because of Patriots fans need to have everyone bow to Tom Brady, sites like Cold Hard Football Facts have irreparably damaged popular football thought by pimping the playoff crapshoot over the hard grind of the regular season. Because the regular season numbers don't support their conclusion, they chuck them. The result is that players like Kurt Warner, brilliant for short stretches, get preference over men with sustained excellence, but perhaps less time in the spotlight.
Or perhaps it's the Jordan/Tiger effect. Because sports' two most dominant athletes over the past two decades made EVERYTHING in their careers revolve around 'championships', the sporting public now applies that standard indiscriminately to all sports, even ones like football where it doesn't fit well at all because of the radically different nature of football as a team game (unlike golf) and the amount of chance in a single elimination tourney (vs the NBA in which someone couldn't just get 'lucky' on one night to beat Jordan. They had to beat him 4 times).
Now we've come to the point where Hall of Fame VOTERS are saying insane things like what King just said. Again, I'm bothered that he said it about Marvin Harrison, but if the player had been Harry Marvin of the Baltimore Ravens, I'd be just as bothered. The problem isn't the player, it's the logic used. Frankly, if all it takes to get in the Hall of Fame is a great moment or two, we should just make it the Hall of Super Bowl MVPs and induct Santonio Holmes and Larry Brown right now. Perhaps I'm being unfair, after all, a hilariously undeserving Joe Namath somehow made the Hall of Fame.
If this is where the future of football analysis is heading, the only hope for sanity really is with the alternative media. Thank God for the Football Outsiders.
Links: Here's Dungy on the Dan Patrick show last week. There's new stuff in the interview I hadn't heard, including his thoughts on the inauguration and why he prays for Barack Obama.
It's hard to argue with ESPN's Mount Rushmore for Indiana (Bird, Knight, Manning, Wooden). I think I would probably take off Knight and put Miller on. Bird and Wooden are mortal locks. Tony Hulman wasn't on the list but should be in the discussion.

Wow, it's been almost 6 months since the last major news posting, and not much has been happening other than the announcement of one festival date coming up this May. Hopefully that gives way to maybe some new news or additional tour dates.
In the meantime, three interviews have surfaced in the last week with Isaac, Jeremiah, and Davey. All three don't really concern anything new, but are worth a listen.
Isaac talks about skateboarding and the song Shit Luck having been used in so many skate videos, as well as touching on the music industry and how canceling tours is expensive.
Jeremiah and Davey are both interviewed by the The Trap Set, the interviews were both recorded before their show at The Forum last year in California. Their interviews touch more on their early careers. Jeremiah also touches on some of the topics he spoke about during his Shit Show interview from 2015, and Davey talks about how he got the job with Modest Mouse after Joe left.
Listen to the Isaac interview below. The interviews with Jeremiah and Davey can be found here and here respectively.
Thanks to Jamie and Barnacles for sending this in.
